1. I choose the Albrecht Durer video and The Drawings of Michelangelo because they both connect to something I'm interested in. I love drawing, and seeing what famous artists made because inspiration can always be found.
2. Michelangelo's drawings can be viewed at anytime by any students. That is the drawings that are left, because a great amount of his drawings have been destroyed by Michelangelo himself. It is said that if Michelangelo knew he was looking at his drawings, he'd be cringing. The contours of Michelangelo's drawings are very, very strong. Throughout most of his drawings, it was usually a figure and they were almost always very accurate.
One of the first places El Greco stayed for a while to create art was Rome. He stayed at a palace, and worked on pieces inside Rome too. El Greco's paintings often connected to religious forms because they were places in churches, monasteries and medical places. One of his paintings that include Angels, called "Angels from Above," is a medieval painting. El Greco was also commissioned at a Cathedral to create religious figures. The figure of Christ was often the focus point in his paintings.
3. The videos related to the text in our book because they are both talking about the figures of the time. Not just the basic figures, but the way they were sculpted or drawn, perceived and finished.
4. Both of the videos have a ton of information that was interesting to learn. By these videos, we know a little bit more about each of the artists that we wouldn't have known by doing our own research or reading in the textbook. It's nice because the videos are on one subject which means all of the information we're receiving is based on one subject, letting us expand our knowledge on that one subject, rather than 25 in a unit.
